Description

The present invention relates to food compositions, pharmaceutical compositions, quasi-drug compositions, cosmetic compositions, and miscellaneous goods for the prevention or treatment of new coronavirus infections.

The new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) was confirmed in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China in December 2019, and the infection has spread all over the world. The causative new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a type of coronavirus and is a plus-strand RNA virus belonging to the coronavirus subfamily of the coronaviridae family. In addition to the common causes of colds, coronaviruses include the Severe Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) virus that prevailed mainly in Asia in 2003 and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) virus that has spread in the Middle East since 2012. .. The main symptoms of the new coronavirus infection are fever, general malaise, and respiratory symptoms. About 80% of them are cured with mild symptoms, but about 20% have worsening pneumonia and about 5% have artificial respiratory management. It is said that this is a serious case that requires, and there have been reports of cases in which the condition deteriorates sharply. As a factor of aggravation, it is considered that an excessive immune reaction occurs due to a cytokine storm, which is an excessive release of cytokines from immune cells, and an organ such as a lung is damaged.

In addition, as of the filing date of the present application, there is no specific therapeutic drug for the new coronavirus infection, and the existing drug is only diverted. It has been confirmed that the anti-Ebola virus drug remdesivir has the effect of shortening the treatment period for severely infected patients with the new coronavirus, and has received special approval in Japan. However, as a general rule, the subjects of medication are severely ill patients, and there are concerns about safety, such as the high frequency of renal dysfunction and hepatic dysfunction. Another problem is that the supply of remdesivir is limited. In addition, it has been reported that dexamethasone, a steroid drug, also reduced the mortality of severe cases, and it was approved as the second treatment in Japan for the treatment of new coronavirus infection. It is recommended for use in, and no cure has been established for mildly ill patients. Other therapeutic agents are off-label use, and their efficacy and safety are unclear during verification. In addition, although there are vaccines for which clinical trials have been started for vaccination that is generally effective as a means of preventing virus infection, it has not been put into practical use. Under these circumstances, it is an urgent task to develop preventive and therapeutic agents that are effective against the new coronavirus, are highly safe, and can be stably supplied.

On the other hand, there is a report on the interaction between naturally occurring components and the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) protein using the molecular docking method, and epigallocatechin gallate, anthocyanidins, curcumin, etc. may have antiviral effects. It is shown as being (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2).
